Yes you can still eat them, the inside is green regardless of what the outside looks like. Be sure to chop the leaves of straight after cutting the stalks as the leaves are poisonous and the poison will leech into the stalks if you don't remove them.

Can we eat of the first pick or not and do we cut the leaves off when they are big so the little stems underneath get sun light

I have several Rhubard plants, we went away at Christmas, we have automatic retic which comes on every two days. As you will be aware, Christmas saw WA peak at 6 days at +40, on our return I found that all my Rhubard (Stalks & Leaves) were dead and lifeless (Horizontal) What should I do ? Are the crowns still OK or should I dig up and start again?

Mine died off - completely black - in the last drought period here, then grew back in time to be knocked off again by the recent heat. I think yours have a good chance of surviving if they've been established a while.

How much water do the plants need ? should they be kept damp or allowed to dry out ? I'm not having much success

This plant seems to be almost unavailable. Where in the world can one get hold of seedlings or seeds if possible? Thank you for your good work!
